Hi all rp list,

I am working in CAD LAB IIT Kanpur under Prof. S. G. Dhande.We have two rp
machine(FDM and solider(sgc)).And we also have three rapid tooling
m/cs.These are MCP Vacuum casting m/c,MCP TAfa m/c and MCP Low Melting
alloy m/c.If anybody is interested to get multiparts from an exiting one then
these rt processes come in picture and can give tool for that and some
times parts also.All these rt processes accepts the rp pattern for
creating the mould.In mcp vacuum casting m/c,we are making mould for
vacuum casting for polyurethene resin.There you can get any complex plastics
part.In mcp tafa m/c, we are making mould for injection molding.In mcp low
melting alloy m/c, we are making press tool for sheet metal forming
process.As name says, all these rt processes are too fast and as far as
its accuracy is concerned, it is also very accurate.

Any further queries regading these rt processes can be appreciated.
